Issues with raspberry pi and bitcoin core

[jackg]

I tried installing bitcoin core on my raspberry pi a while back and got a berkeleyDB error when running ./configure.

The exact error is this:

Code:

configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

I ran the installation of all of the dependencies (including libdb-dev, libdb++-dev) and still can't work out where the error is coming from?

I know I need the version of 4.8 of berkeley db, just can't work out how to install it, I noticed in the realease notes that it says there's something different that has to be done for ubuntu and it doesn't work on raspbian.

I also found this so I'm working through some of those suggestions but quite a few are throwing other errors.

Bitcoin Core on RPI? Seriously?

Use --with-incompatible-bdb as advised on ./configure. It will work just fine.

Should've made this self mod shouldn't I?

Use --with-incompatible-bdb as advised on ./configure. It will work just fine.

I will try that. I was going to do it before but wasn't sure if it'd damage anything in the process or render certain parts of the final program unusable.

Well, I am allowed to ask a question right? If it's not your taste to reply then don't, and yes make it self-moderated.. You don't have to give me directive here to allow me asking things or not

Understood?

No. If you have a question, PM. And I think you can agree that your question was extremely off topic can't you.

If you have an issue with other users trying to experiment with bitcoin then you shouldn't really be on this board.

For the record, I have a few Pis sitting doing nothing, and I considered getting back into using linux by installing bitcoin core (and since I couldn't get linux to work on my computer yet because I have to do something with a vital partition so I'm waiting to back it up first).


As an update, "./configure --with-incompatible-bdb" did run successfully as far as I can tell.

If you have a question, PM

It's forum, not Skype. Imagine if everyone sends a PM instead to comment

Again, I don't need a directive from you, but if you have a problem with users asking questions then you shouldn't really be on this forum

No, I asked a question about BTC Core + RPI

We would get rid of a lot of spam if people PM

All I'm saying I have an issue with is people posting off topic.

But it's not a direct response to the OP with anything useful.



Anyway, I'm locking this now so you will have to PM or open up a new thread if you want a response.
